Sharks? The last unprovoked fatal shark attack in Jamaica was in, I think, 1924. Florida Museum of Natural History has all the numbers. I would be more worried about a stingray or jellyfish. And I don't about those.

You don't hear about them because there are none. On occasion a diver may encounter a nurse shark but they are nothing like the sharks you hear about off the coast of the US (Florida, etc). They don't attack humans unless provoked and even at that aren't capable of the damage of say a great white. No worries. Do a google search for sharks in Jamaica or a search on the message board, the topic has been covered many times.

There are no sharks that come into the bay. The only time you will see a shark is diving and then it is nurse sharks which are very harmless.

That is abuot what I was going to post. I did see a small sting ray near shore one day and only saw two jellyfish during our stay at CN. Only one jelly fish was near sure the other I saw out snorkelling.
